Industry Struggles to Fill Jobs

Posted on by

Even with the unemployment rate hovering around 8.3 percent, there are still industries with thousands of open positions that people are unable or unwilling to fill. Take the American commercial trucking industry. Open job postings around the country stay unfilled for months due to a lack of candidates. Many who would take the job are put off by the high cost of a commercial driving licence while the ones who could take the job are overlooked by poorly directed recruiting. What this means is that these businesses are looking to small pools of potential employees while much larger groups exist elsewhere in the country. At Accolo, we utilize a combination of our network of experienced recruiters as well as our Cloud Recruiting software to gaps like this between qualified candidates and employers.
